If I pick "all channels" in the online guide and see both the HD and SD versions of my CW affiliate, they both have the "CW HD" logo. ABC, NBC, and Fox all have different logos for the HD and SD channels. CBS just has the regular CBS logo (not "CBS HD") for both.

I live here in St. George, Utah. No HD local programming. I remember DTV's web site had a link of upcoming cities to received Local HD. I can't fine it anymore. We have a market of about 200,000. I would think that's enough to consider HD locals. Can someone explain the difficulties of proving the service to us?

This is something that it appears may be fixed with d14. It seems like d14 has a few spot beams of larger footprints to cover full areas like the salt lake DMA where as today's spot beams don't. Hopefully in a couple years we will know for sure.
